As a tour guide who specializes in providing quality services for tourists, it is possible to use tour guide words, which can help tourists appreciate the landscape and achieve the best effect of sightseeing. So how should the tour guide words be written more orderly? The following are the tour guide words I compiled for Xi 'an Bell Tower, hoping to help everyone. 1
Dear visitors:
Hello everyone! Nice to meet you. Please call me Chang Dao. Next, visit Xi 'an Bell Tower with me!
the bell tower is located in the center of Xi' an, at the intersection of four streets in the southeast and northwest. Look, the two-story building in front of us is the bell tower, which consists of three parts: the base, the building body and the roof. The bell tower is 36 meters high, and it is an antique brick structure. The eaves of the four corners are tilted and the sky is about to fly. There are colorful glass tiles on the roof, which are dazzling and beautiful. The bell tower is surrounded by flowers, adding a festive atmosphere.
The pedestal is made of huge city bricks. Walking up the stairs to the north of the pedestal, we came to the sightseeing platform of the Bell Tower. The first thing that caught our eye was a blue Ming Dynasty clock, weighing five tons, which could accommodate five or six people. The clock face was carved with exquisite gossip patterns, and the rich and loud bell rolled like a muffled thunder, telling people around it that a new day was coming. Nowadays, bells pray for the longevity of the elderly and can make children healthy and happy ... As soon as I entered the exhibition hall door, I saw three rows of bells arranged from small to large, one of which was exactly the same in shape and size, but one row was different from the other; There are many beautiful ink paintings and vigorous calligraphy around. The bells and paintings show us the superb skills of the Ming people. Standing on the bell tower, people come and go on four streets in the southeast and northwest, and the traffic is very busy.
today, I am very happy to serve you. The Drum Tower and the Bell Tower echo each other from afar, making the ancient city of Xi 'an more beautiful. I will take you to visit the Drum Tower in Xi 'an next time. Xi' an bell tower guide 2
What we see now is the bell tower. The bell tower is located at the intersection of four streets in the city center, namely, east, west, south and north. It was built in the 17th year of Ming Hongwu (1384). At that time, the location of the bell tower was not in the present place, so where is it? Please follow the direction of my finger. The building that echoes the bell tower from a distance is the Drum Tower. The original position of the bell tower is in Yingxiang View to the west of the Drum Tower. Yingxiang Temple is a very famous Taoist temple in the Tang Dynasty. In order to celebrate the birthday of his mother, Li Dan of Tang Ruizong made a special clock and put it in Yingxiang Temple. With the development of the city and the continuous expansion of Xi 'an, the bell tower is located in the west of the city and no longer lives in the center of the city. In this case, the Ming government moved the bell tower to its present position in 1582 AD.
the main function of the bell tower is to strike the bell and tell the time. Every morning, when the bell rings, the four city gates will open, and people will start their hard work for a day. When the drum of the Drum Tower rings in the evening, people will return to the city and close the city gates. This is what everyone often calls "the morning bell and the evening drum". The clock used to tell the time was made by Tang Ruizong Li Dan in Jing Yun in the second year (721) and named "Jing Yun Clock". Jing Yun clock is beautifully decorated, with smooth lines and loud voice, which fully shows the superb level of clock casting by craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty. The original clock is now collected in Xi 'an Beilin Stone Carving Art Museum. The clock you see now is a replica of Jing Yun clock, and its posture, size, weight and decorative pattern are the same as the original cloud clock. Now, let's enjoy it together. Please look at the part of Zhong Niu: It is said that there is a big beast in the sea called Pulong. Although it is fierce, it is very afraid of whales. Whenever whales attack it, it will shout loudly. Because of its loud cry, people tie it to the clock when casting it, hoping that it will ring loudly. We can all imagine that the clock is like a Pulong with a big mouth, and the wood that hits the clock is like a whale, and the whale bites it. There is another saying about Bulang, saying that Bulang is the ninth son of the Dragon Prince, and the nine sons of the Dragon have different tastes. This Bulang always likes to shout loudly, and his voice is very loud. Therefore, Zhong Niu often looks like Bulang, hoping to make the bell ring. In short, with Bulang, the bell will ring, which is beyond doubt.
Let's look at the clock face again. There are dragons, phoenixes, cranes, lions, one-horned cows, flying clouds, colorful clouds, creeping weeds, etc. The patterns and lines are smooth and end to end, which respectively represent Taoist laws and regulations, wealth and power, heaven and earth, and the secular future. It is a religious decorative painting that integrates happiness, power and preciousness. What is particularly precious is the inscription written by Tang Ruizong Li Dan. There are three original works of Li Dan: Confucius Temple Monument, Shunling Monument and Jing Yun Zhong Inscription. Because both the Confucius Temple Monument and the Shunling Monument have been destroyed, there is only one Jing Yun Zhong inscription left in the original works of Li Dan. The content of this article mainly tells the mystery of Taoism and the making of Jing Yun Zhong, which is a rare masterpiece from the perspective of calligraphy and the content of the article.
Let's look back at this bell tower that has been located at the intersection of four streets for more than 611 years. Let's start with the eaves. When you stand here, you can see that the bell tower has three eaves, but in fact it has only two floors, that is to say, on the second floor, there are two eaves on one floor. So why do you want to make the eaves so complicated? Because in feudal society, eaves had a very strict hierarchy, and double eaves were a form monopolized by the ruling class in order to improve their dignity and authority. Even the same double-eaves roof also had the difference between the most respected and the second, with the double-eaved temple being the most respected, such as the "Hall of Supreme Harmony" in the Forbidden City in Beijing, followed by the double-eaved mountain rest, such as Tiananmen Square in Beijing. The bell tower adopts the form of four-corner pyramidal roof, which first appeared in the stone tower carving in the Northern Wei grottoes. In addition, many buildings, platforms, pavilions and pavilions can be seen in the Song paintings, and this form became more prosperous in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. As you can see from standing here, the surrounding buildings are beautiful, but this was completely unworkable in the past. Ordinary people can only build houses with single eaves, and double eaves can only appear in royal buildings. Perhaps some friends have noticed that there is a row of animal-shaped components on the ridge of the four-wing corner of the roof, which is what people often call immortals and beasts. Let's take a look at it in turn: the first one is the immortal, and behind it are the walking dragon, the flying phoenix, the walking lion, the Tianma, the seahorse, the flying fish and the betting fish, all of which have certain meanings. Dragon wind represents supreme honor; The lion is the king of beasts, the town of king of the hill; Tianma and Haima symbolize the royal Weed reaching into the sea and reaching everywhere; Flying fish and betting fish are exotic animals in the sea. It is said that they can make clouds and rain, and suppress fires and prevent disasters. Building craftsmen skillfully unified political symbols, artistic decorations and practical components, which fully demonstrated their intelligence.
Looking down, we can see that there is a layer of components made of small pieces of wood between the beams on the pillars and the framework of the roof. They are evenly distributed on the beams and support the overhanging eaves. This component is called a bucket arch, which is a unique component of ancient wooden buildings in China. Why is it called a bucket arch? In order to pick out the eaves protruding from the roof on the columns and beams, it is necessary to have a component to support the imitation rafters under the eaves. Ancient craftsmen used bow-shaped short wood to extend from columns and beams, and one layer was not enough to add another. The bow-shaped short wood was picked out layer by layer, so that the eaves could extend out of the house. This kind of bow-shaped short wood was called an arch. Between the two layers of arches, square blocks are used to cushion each other, and the square blocks are shaped like buckets, so this kind of component combined with multi-layer arches and buckets is called bucket arches. When the bucket arch is used under the eaves, the eaves of the roof can be enlarged, and when it is used under the two ends of the beam, the span of the beam can be reduced and the bearing capacity of the beam can be increased. Bucket arch is indeed a very strange component. Pieces of small wood can actually lift such a heavy and far-reaching roof, which is a great creation of ancient Chinese craftsmen.
As a kind of material wealth, architecture, like other materials, not only produces a material body, but also produces a beautiful image in the process of human creation. In the production of the whole house and various components of the house, people process it with different degrees of beauty, and thus decoration begins to appear in the building. The doors and windows of ancient buildings are the most contact parts with people, and they are naturally decorated in a variety of ways. The lattice doors you see now have wooden reliefs on the door leaves, with vivid and touching folklore and memorable historical stories. There are 64 pictures upstairs and downstairs. If friends are interested, you may wish to study them carefully and see how many you can guess correctly.
enter the lobby on the first floor of the bell tower. First of all, please look up: the wooden boxes at the top are called smallpox, and the circular ones in the center are called algae wells. In order not to expose the beam frame of the building, ancient craftsmen often used ceiling fang to form a wooden box under the beam, with colored paper stuck on it, or painted directly on it. The ceiling of the bell tower is painted directly, with ***184 pieces, including gorgeous peony, simple but elegant narcissus, proud red plum and beautiful orchid, which compete with each other in this small square all year round. Before talking about algae wells, I'd like to ask my friends to guess. What pattern is this? Some friends say that this is the center of the city, and some friends say that it is a cloud. I will tell you a folk story. After listening to it, everyone will understand: It is said that there used to be floods in Guanzhong area, which happened once a year. After seeing Feng Shui, a Taoist said: There is a Kawaguchi in the east half of the clock tower, and there is a big octopus in the Kawaguchi. Every year, this big octopus will come out to breathe fresh air on time. It is an outcrop in Guanzhong area. When the magistrate of a county learned this news, he ordered craftsmen to dismantle the original bell tower. In the east half of it, a bell tower was rebuilt at a crossroads. After the bell tower was built, there was no flood again. Therefore, when the craftsmen painted the algae well, they made such a picture of "a thousand ways of sunshine". Do you think this picture looks like seven-color ripples in the eyes of the well when the sun shines? This is exactly what happened: the bell sounded Cai Feng in Jing Yun and Jin Ao in Louxiong Kawaguchi. Guide words of Xi' an Bell Tower 3
Ladies and gentlemen:
Hello!
I'm Xiao Ming, the tour guide who explains the bell and drum tower and the city wall along the way. The bell of the bell tower explains the simplicity of the ancient city of Xi 'an and the richness of this historic city. Then in the next time, while enjoying the scenery along the wall of the Bell and Drum Tower, everyone can also feel the other side of the charm of the ancient city of Xi 'an, that is, the food culture of Xi 'an. Speaking of the food in Xi 'an, can you tell us which famous snacks are there in Xi 'an?
Xi' an's food culture is full of rich northwest customs, and tasting Xi' an's flavor snacks is a great pleasure to visit Xi' an. Whether it's mutton bread in soup, which has always been loved by Xi' an people, or the famous "Xi' an dumpling feast" at home and abroad, it has distinct local characteristics.
There are two buildings imitating the Ming and Qing Dynasties on my right hand side. I wonder if you have noticed the striking sentence "The flavor of jiaozi is eternal, and the legendary quality grows stronger". Yes, this is the famous Chinese time-honored brand Defachang, which is famous for its dumpling feast. If you want to taste it, you can join hands with each other after our trip to feel the unusual things of Defachang, and at the same time tell you a very unfortunate thing: I have never tasted jiaozi here! However, I think since it has played the name of eternal flavor, it must be deserved! Having said that, some people in jiaozi are going to ask where mutton buns are sold. Then please follow me. We can clearly see that there is a restaurant with the same architectural style next door to Defachang-Tongshengxiang. At the gate of Tongshengxiang, we will inadvertently notice a sculpture, so can you tell which of the eight monsters in Shaanxi is displayed by this sculpture? (Stools don't sit up) Tong Shengxiang specializes in beef and mutton buns and various special snacks, and integrates traditional features with modern fashion, so if you come to this place for dinner, I think everyone will feel the colorful culture of Xi 'an!
across the bell and drum tower square, we now come to the magnificent and quaint drum tower, with antique buildings on both sides of the street, and all kinds of well-known snacks in Xi' an, so I want to ask you, what is the most famous snack street in Xi' an? It goes without saying that it is a street where Muslims snack. Visitors to Xi 'an think that Xi 'an Huimin Street has its own unique side if they have the opportunity to come to Huimin Street. Why do you say that? I think it is not only because a large number of food shops and jewelry shops on both sides of the street bring us infinite attraction, but also because of the profound cultural connotation of this street.
Huimin Street generally refers to the north-south street along the line from Gulou to Beiyuanmen, but sometimes it also includes the connected Huajue Lane, Xiyang City and Dapiyuan. Huimin street, as its name implies, is a place where Hui people live in compact communities. Huimin Street in Xi 'an is a street in Huimin District, which is about 511 meters long. It is characterized by bluestone paving and tree-lined. On both sides of the road are antique buildings imitating the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The shops on both sides are mainly engaged in catering and some ornaments with Shaanxi characteristics, and they are all run by Muslims. They have strong halal characteristics and are deeply loved by foreign tourists.
The restaurants on both sides of the street you see now are authentic Muslim restaurants. Among them, there are several famous restaurants, such as Muslim Pingwa Barbecue Shop, Jia San soup dumplings, fried rice with red sauerkraut, and Laosunjia mutton bread in soup in Dapiyuan. Among them, there is a funny legend about mutton buns in Xi 'an. It is said that Zhao Kuangyin, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, was trapped in Chang 'an before he proclaimed himself emperor, and lived a life of forbearing drinking and starving all day. One day, he came to a shop where beef and mutton were being cooked, and the shopkeeper saw that he was very pitiful, so he was asked to break his own dry buns, and then the shopkeeper poured a spoonful of hot broth and put it on the fire to cook them thoroughly. Then Zhao Kuangyin shoveled the meal, which he felt was the best food in the world. Later, Zhao Kuangyin became emperor. One day, when he passed by Chang 'an, he still couldn't forget the beef and mutton boiled buns he had eaten here in those years. He went to this restaurant with Wu Dachen and ate a bowl of beef and mutton boiled buns. After eating, he still felt delicious, so he rewarded the shopkeeper of this shop. Since then, the story of the emperor eating steamed buns has spread, and beef and mutton steamed buns have become a famous snack on Chang 'an Avenue. Su Dongpo, a great writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, once wrote a poem of praise that "there is bear wax in the dragon, and the Qin Dynasty cooks only sheep soup". So if you have a chance, you must taste the local folk flavor.
In fact, there are many ornaments with local characteristics on the street of Huimin snacks for you to choose from. You can see that these ornaments are dazzling and varied. For example, there are also ornaments of Terracotta Warriors and Horses, the eighth wonder of the world, so you can buy one or two as a souvenir of coming to Xi 'an. At the same time, we can notice that there are many tiger shoes and big red hats for children here. Everyone knows that red stands for auspiciousness and wishful thinking, so I think it is necessary for everyone to buy some souvenirs in Huimin Street.
Just now, we said that a snack street for Muslims has profound cultural connotations, so does anyone know its origin? As early as more than a thousand years ago in the Han Dynasty, Huimin Street was once the starting point of the Silk Road, welcoming businessmen, envoys and students from ancient Arabia and Persia. Then these people are the later Hui people. According to historical records, many people followed the Silk Road.
